SHAHID GETS CANDID ON TV SHOW


Shares stories from his stressed days with host Farah Khan.

The success of "Kaminey" has hurled him into the big union, but actor Shahid Kapur says he sat at home for six months with no work after his box office hit "Vivaah" in 2006.

"The hardest time was after 'Vivaah' was a super hit. I was at home for six months without work. I got some 60 film offers but nothing inspired me," Shahid told choreographer-director Farah Khan on STAR Plus' chat show "Tere Mere Beach Mein".

On the show, the actor spoke of trailing his self-confidence after a spate of failures following his debut film "Ishq Vishk".

He even shared how anxious and tense he was when he had begun shooting for "Vivaah", but gained a little confidence after director Sooraj Barjatya gave him a pep talk saying: "There's only one thing that can take you ahead and that's talent and you have that in you!"

"I was unmoved and gave one shot, then I saw it on the monitor and I said, 'I've given a perfect shot...I know my work.' After that I used to just focus on my work."

The episode featuring Shahid will be aired on Saturday (Sept 5) at 9 pm. Also on the show with him will be Genelia D’Souza.
